Now that you’ve finished writing your book, you’re probably excited to share it with the world. Indie publishing, or self-publishing, is a fantastic way to make that happen. Learn what’s involved in indie publishing your book, including setting yourself up for success, producing ebooks and print books, and managing your indie author business. We’ll dive into book formatting, design, and working with illustrators. Join this session with indie author Carmen Wright to better understand your options and whether indie publishing is the right path for you.

 

Carmen Wright is the author of the children’s books Spy Skills for Girls and the Tri-City Mysteries, which she indie publishes under her imprint Bright Green Books. Carmen leverages her experience in marketing, communications, and graphic design to inform her author business and enjoys sharing what she’s learned to help other authors save time and make smart decisions. She’s written in various formats including comics, screenplays, interactive games, and has a fantasy romance novel nearing completion, which she plans to indie publish. Her children’s books have sold over 9,000 copies since 2011.
